Phil Lolmaugh and Jim Carr carried forward their Partee League domination to the Annual Partee tournament by winning the A-Flight with a score of 65. Per Phil, golf transcends the inner spirit within us to elevate to a conscientious level that recognizes neither victory nor defeat. But we kicked ass and we'll take your money.

Andy Christie and Sol Vaita won the B-Flight with a score of 62. This is Andy's 3rd win this year and he's won with three different partners. He teamed with Tony Benjamin to win at Johnson Ranch in February and He teamed with Cap Williams to win at Gold Canyon in July.

"Foxy-D" Debbie Williams and "Honky-T" Tim O'pry won the C-Flight with a 61 which was the best score of the day. The nicknames were applied by Barbara Fitzpatrick who says that Debbie was a Fox and Timmy is a Honk. Debbie is definitely foxy, but I don't know what a Honk is.

Other Winners:
Karen smashed a long drive of 240 yards to win the women's long drive competition and Ray Patlen not to be outdone drove the same distance to win the men's long drive. Well done Karen and Ray, a honky-tonk effort in my book.

Paul Bealor won closest to the line, but the closest to the pin contests were messed up due to the silly players from the other tournament putting their names on our markers.

Kudos to Fred Peerenboom for setting up the tables/chairs to accommodate our tournament. Read onward as President Ed laid the "smack down" on The Legend at Arrowhead.

19th Hole:
Neil Herslow had to be physically restraint from walking over and kicking butt on the idiots from the other tournament for putting their names on our signs. He did have his truck running and the door open in case he had to kick some gal in the nuts and run.

Jenny Tobin said, you guys take too long to figure out the winners. If I (she) did it, we'd be out of here in ten minutes. Ed was disappointed since he's known to the ladies as "Fast Eddy", but he's proud that club members are willing to step up and improve the process.

Cap Williams didn't do his one-eyed snake dance because he said his back hurts from carrying his partner all day and their team score couldn't even win last place.

Barb's double-d's got stained when an admirer slobbered on them as he sniffed her perfume. Heated discussions ensued to determine if the stain was on the top or bottom, if the admirer was short or tall.

Denny Andrew's party after the tournament rocks. Top of the line cuisine was served. His bar was well stocked with aged scotch, bourbon, and wines of several varieties. Unlike the Safeway vodka and Gatorade mix he drinks on the course. Many of Denny's friends Minnesota were there and all had a great time. Ben said that you can tell the Minnesotians by the way they wet their finger tips and suffer the moisture to exhale by waving them gracefully in the air instead of wiping them with a paper towel.

Congratulations fellow golfers for another successful tournament. Overall the course was in great shape, but I had to address some issues with the Tournament Director regarding our high level of expectations in all our tournament. I'm certain that all our issues and concerns will be addressed so that we can continue to do business with the Legends at Arrowhead.

I do want to Thank Denny Andrew for hooking us up at an excellent price and also for the outstanding party at his house (on the course) after the tournament.

Also, Thank You to Neil Herslow for stepping up to take over Harley Cogswell's responsibilities. Neil did and excellent job and it's this kind of effort that ensures the success of our club as we go forward.

To all Annual Partee Club members, you all were outstanding in our contributions to the aid of our fellow Americans who were devastated by Hurricane Katrina. My car and Tim O'pry's car (both suv's) were loaded, filled to brim with the goods you provided out of the kindness of your hearts. I can speak for both Tim and I that we were proud to be members of the Annual Partee Golf Club as we delivered our goods. I know you all contributed on your own in addition to our efforts. But, this was special. Thank You All.

Please don't forget to sign up for our next tournament at Stonecreek. The course will be in excellent shape as we will be the first to play on it after the course has been prepared for the cool months ahead.

Thank You and God Bless......ED.

Letters to Sam Owen:

Dear Sam,
I've already complained to the Legend at Arrowhead about our cart breaking down and we had to lug our clubs around until they finally brought us a cart. I'm still ticked off about that and I just needed to get it off my chest.
Signed Hoot.

Dear Sam,
I admire this one player in our club. How do I make him look at me in a naughty way.
Sign Dee Dee

Dear Barb,
You are looking at one tree and not the whole forest. All the other trees are standing tall and rigid and checking you out in a manner that would make a stripper tree blush. But unfortunately you admire the softer more sensitive type of tree that thinks naughty is slang for serving doughnuts and tee. My advice is, go camping but don't start any forest fires.

Dear Sam,
The ladies admire me and are calling me with a cool nickname, and it is - HUNKY-T, not HONKY-T you moron. Get it right!
Signed, Hunky-T

Dear Tim,
Why are you so sensitive. This is the South West and folks out here caint say HUNK. They can try, but it comes out HONK. Similarly when the cowpokes went to “see Donna”, it came out “Sedona”, also sex pack eventually became six -pack. All I'm trying to say is, don't kill the messenger, were just trying to be user friendly.

Dear Sam,
We lost by a stroke on the third hole. What's a girl got to do but get a different partner.
P.S. don't tell Karen.
Signed, You print this I'll kick your ass

Dear Dee,
Quit your bitchin. You won before with Karen. So what if she's a streaky player like Paul's underwear. Oops, that's one of those bad shots you want back. Sometimes I wish I was writing this with a pencil so I can erase. Anyhow I hope you and your new partner Angie can bring home the win. Welcome aboard Angie.
